Tonight, the city
is in on it.
Private immersive stories with a cast, set in the real world.
One night. One friend who thinks it is dinner. Everyone else knows the plot.

A private story with a cast, written around one person by the friends who know her best. Set in the real Singapore, on an ordinary Saturday.
You are in the story
You are not guests at a party. You are characters with lines, places and envelopes — and she does not know it yet.
From three to twelve
Three friends or twelve. Some of you can be in the scenes, all of you in the last one.
How a night with friends can go
She thinks it is coffee. The card under her saucer has other plans.
In the tailor’s window — the dress she wore on her first birthday in Singapore.
A trishaw, a driver who knows the plot, and the next address in an envelope.
The last scene — a rooftop, and everyone she has ever lived with is on it.
Every night is written from a blank page. These are four scenes from one possible night.
In their words
“The best day ever. So happy that I was a part of this day.”
“You just can’t tell the difference between the real world and what was Teleport. Like a dream really.”
“Without a doubt, it was the most magical experience I have ever had. I will carry the memories of that day with me for the rest of my life.”

Tell us about her.
We write the night.
Who she is, how you met, what she would never expect from you. We write a night you will not forget.

Tomorrow at 18:00 you will be at dinner on Amoy Street with the people who love you most. Order whatever you like. The plates will not be what you expect.
Do not be alarmed. Your friends have read this letter. So has the city.
Four of you get the chat. One of you gets the letter.
A whole city. Her own story.
A day ordered for one woman by someone who loves her. A stranger knew her name. Then a magazine with her face on the cover. By the afternoon, an exhibition of her. She learnt who had written the day only in the last scene.
“I think it's the greatest gift I could have given her.” — the one who ordered the day
Notes for the one who organises
How much does a night cost?
It depends on the cast, the number of friends and the length of the night. We share the cost after the first conversation — and it is usually shared between the friends.
Will she know?
No. She thinks it is dinner. The rest of you know the plot — and still, nothing goes the way you expect.
Do we have to act?
No. You get one line each and a place to be. The cast does the acting; you do the laughing.
Who makes the bookings?
We do. Once the script is written, Teleport brings it to life: the cast, the venues, the reservations, the props and the set. You arrive; the day is already in motion.
How long does it take to prepare?
Two to ten weeks to write and cast.
How many of us can take part?
From three to twelve. Some of you in the scenes, all of you in the last one.
Will it be filmed?
Film and photography — by request. Otherwise nothing is recorded.
